Manage status

To change the project status you have to navigate to the Status tab inside a project.

The default project status is DRAFT, but users can update it based on the project's current state. A project can have multiple statuses, including DRAFT, SCHEDULED, IN_PROGRESS, IN_QA, REJECTED, and FINISHED.

The DRAFT status is the initial stage of a project, set by default when a new project is created. At this stage:

Status Section

  • The project is still being planned and configured.
  • No official actions, such as scheduling or execution, have been initiated.
  • Users can make modifications, add prerequisites, and define key details before moving forward.
  • The project remains in DRAFT until it is updated to another status, such as SCHEDULED or IN_PROGRESS, based on progress and approval.
  • This status ensures that all necessary preparations are completed before the project moves into active development.

2. SCHEDULED Status​

The SCHEDULED status is the next phase after DRAFT, indicating that the project has been planned and is officially set for execution,triggered by pressing the Set to Scheduled button. At this stage:

Scheduled Sections

  • A definitive start date and timeline have been established.
